The merger of Cumberland Health in Crossville, Tenn., with Covenant Health is final, and the 189-bed hospital has become the ninth hospital member of the Knoxville-based not-for-profit health system.
"This is an important day for Covenant Health," said Tony Spezia, president and CEO of Covenant Health. "The outstanding physicians, caregivers, administration and support staff at Cumberland Medical Center have become part of a team of more than 10,000 healthcare professionals who share a commitment to provide the best possible patient care."
Since the announcement of the merger process in June 2013, teams from Covenant Health and Cumberland Medical Center have performed needs assessments and planning projects across many clinical and operational areas. A high priority will be the development of an interventional cardiology program. In addition, CMC already has worked with Covenant Health's Thompson Cancer Survival Center to manage the CMC Regional Cancer Center for the past two years.
"Covenant Health has been partnering with Cumberland Medical Center in a number of ways to provide healthcare services to the people of Crossville and the surrounding area," said Jeremy Biggs, Covenant Health vice president of operations, who led the merger process on behalf of the health system. "We are looking forward to moving ahead with many of our collaborative plans now that the hospital is a full member of Covenant Health."
"This is indeed a positive transition in the life of our hospital," said Ed Anderson, who has been in leadership roles at Cumberland Medical Center since 1992, including serving as hospital president and CEO and as a member of the hospital's Board of Directors. "As a new member of the system, CMC can call on the resources of Covenant Health to bring the latest treatments and technologies to our area."
"We are pleased to have Cumberland Medical Center as one of Covenant Health's member hospitals," said Jim VanderSteeg, Covenant's executive vice president-hospital operations. "We are committed to providing excellent care for our patients, and as part of that commitment, our hospitals frequently share information and best practices. We are looking forward to involving CMC in that process of learning from each other."
Soliant Health, a leading specialty healthcare staffing provider and a part of Adecco Group, announced today that LeConte Medical Center located in Sevierville, Tennessee, was named the 2013 Most Beautiful Hospital in the U.S.! Last year the hospital placed third in the competition.

Colorado's Bennet Is Among Bill's Co-Sponsors
Momentum continues to build in Washington for bipartisan legislative reforms that would help streamline the federal licensing requirements for small hydroelectric projects across the U.S.
Last Friday, March 15, U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) introduced the Hydropower Improvement Act in the Senate. The bill is companion legislation to the Hydropower Regulatory Efficiency Act, which the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously approved in mid-February.
"Thanks to Senator Murkowski for her leadership on this common-sense legislation which will lead to development of new small-hydro installations and job creation," said Kurt Johnson of Telluride, a longtime advocate of small-hydro reform legislation and president of the Colorado Small Hydro Association.
Senator Michael Bennet (D-Colorado) is among the senate bill's co-sponsors. "This bill will accelerate development of hydropower resources as a part of a clean and diverse energy portfolio," he said.
The legislation, first introduced last year, is supported by the National Hydropower Association, American Rivers and COSHA, which testified in support of the bill at a congressional hearing last May.
Testimony focused on the fact that current federal permitting requirements for small hydro projects are time-consuming and costly. "For smaller systems, the cost of permitting can exceed the cost of the hydro equipment, which has been a barrier to small hydro development for decades," Johnson said.
The proposed legislation solves this problem by creating a "regulatory off-ramp" from burdensome Federal Energy Regulatory Commission permitting requirements for non-controversial small hydro projects on existing conduits such as pipelines and canals.
Details of the Hydropower Improvement Act of 2013:
• Establishes an expedited process for FERC to consider "qualifying conduit" hydropower facilities through a 45-day public noticing process; if there is no objection expressed during that period, a project is no longer subject to FERC permitting requirements.
• Provides the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission the authority to extend preliminary permit terms;
• Directs FERC to explore a possible two-year licensing process for hydropower development at non-powered dams and closed-loop pumped storage projects;
• Increases the rated capacity for small hydro projects from five to 10 megawatts;
• Calls for the Department of Energy to study the technical flexibility and grid reliability benefits that pumped storage facilities could provide to intermittent renewable energy, and the range of opportunities for conduit hydropower potential;
• Does not contain any spending authorizations and therefore does not represent any new funding.

Vera in Taipei:
"On Monday I am flying to Taiwan, where I'll play a show September 22 match with Masha Sharapova, out soon fly to the two tournaments in Tokyo and Beijing. And going back to Moscow for Kremlin Cup. While such a plan. Accordingly, all will depend on the outcome - whether to find myself the final eight. Yes - it means yes, no - it means no. And, of course, I plan to play in the finals of the Fed Cup."
Reuters sportspimps attempt to counterpose Vera & Masha on calendar issues.
By Jonathan Standing
TAIPEI | Wed Sep 21, 2011 7:51am EDT
(Reuters) - You will not find Maria Sharapova moaning about crowded schedules after a year in which the Russian has returned to within sight of the summit of women's tennis.
The world number two has some sympathy for the top male players who have made rumblings about possible strike action over what they see as a too punishing calendar but after having her career knocked sideways by injury she is clearly happy to be globe-trotting again and winning tournaments....
...While Sharapova probably does not want the year to end, Zvonareva was less enthused about the calendar.
She said the current WTA schedule was "quite tight" and said players would like to have more flexibility and choice over which tournaments they could play in.
"With this kind of schedule we have to play every single weekend and sometimes you feel good but sometimes you don't feel good but you still push yourself hard and at the end of the day you could get sick or get injured," she told Reuters.
She said players want more discussion on the issue, though there were different views with some players wanting to play more and some less.
"We have to find some solution where we can find the right balance, because right now it's a little bit too busy for us. We travel too much, but on the other hand we get a lot of opportunities to play, so we have to think about it and we're working on it and we're trying to find the right balance."
Next stop on the Tour for Sharapova and Zvonareva is the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo starting on Sept 25.
I wish to nominate Vera for shop steward!
Maria's match against Zvonareva will be played on Thursday night at 20.00 Taiwan time. (12:00:00 noon GMT)Click here for photos.

Yeah Yeah GO GO RUSSIA!!!!!!!!
Whoa!!! Y'all ready for this? There's a vid of the shoot so this is for real. "ESPN Body Issue"
In addition to the photo are referred to the interview, Vera gave on the occasion of this event. - Have you ever ashamed of your body? - None. I'm on this never even conceived. I have spent my life involved in sports, even when I was in school, so I was always in shape. Honestly, I can not remember a single day in my childhood when I would have something that is not done. Even if I did not play tennis, then went outside to ride with friends on the rollers. If you have a day off, I do not think yet - I have to go to a museum or to stay home and do nothing. - What do you do to stay in better shape? - A lot of things. It depends on how I feel. I can ride a bike, jump rope or run. Most of all I like to mix it all together. I like this feeling - the constant forward motion. However, I do not do anything unusual. I do not do something dangerous, because the fear of injury. - What part of your body most vulnerable to injury? - During his career, I injured spinal, leg and wrist. The longer you play, the more time it takes to recover.When I was younger, I could have much more to train and play, but it has not received such serious injuries and less tired. We must learn to overcome the pain. You will not find any professional athlete who is healthy and has no pain. With this should be accepted. It's part of our work and life. - Do you have bad habits? - As an athlete, I should not drink coffee, but sometimes I do it. Caffeine dehydrates the body, and it's bad. It has to be excluded from your diet ... but I do so love it! Video Faith from the set .Faith repeated the feat of Serena, who starred for ESPN a couple of years ago. The other characters numbers . Sakramone Alicia, gymnast, Apolo Ono, skater, short-track Belen Mozo, golfer Gretchen Bleier, snowboarder Hope Solo , football player Jose Reyes, Baseball Kelly Kulick, bowler Natasha Hastings, sprintersha Stephanie Gilmore, serfingistka Sylphs Fouls, basketball Susie rod, roller , Julie Chu, hokkeistka Helio Castroneves, the driver
Hey, Vera! You rock, girl!
Vera back in Moscow. Interview with Championat re her fatigue on the Asian swing, the charity matches, prep for Kremlin Cup, and becoming "moter-cross" (Godmother) to her nephew.
No, they do not mention the "Body Issue". lol
Well, bring 'em over here! Or gimme the link to your FB posting. I can never find anyone I know from "outside".
An "attaboy" to Specter from Franconia who responded to stupid complaints on tennisforum:
"You know what? I don't care about that picture. It's pretty lame. So, normally I would've said fine, I don't care. But now that you people make such a stink about one silly picture, I'll leave it up. If you're all so offended by a picture of a player you're supposedly a fan of, you really need to grow up."I'm done talking to ya'll."
I hear that! Here is a BIGGER version:
Hot Vera pix; The well-known one...
Cleans up nice...
No Clue what this one is about...
There is OTOH the occasional interesting thought. Check this exchange on tf.
I don´t mean sellin out.I mean some fans don´t want her to be more popular than she is now.They like her not being overexposed as Sharapova and Williams.
The reply (from an Argentine member) contains food for further thought. As you imply elsewhere, the Western media & their digital extensions represent a double-edged sword. And, similar to Chinese, Russians do NOT "need" global superstardom. Quite adequate fame & fortune are available domestically & within the "Eurasiazone" -- without the grief attendant to high Western exposure.
Vera's ESPN Body Issue shoot is quite modest--"softcore", not even R-rated, really. Rather like Playboy in the 1950s. Hardly sensational by today's standard. One has to believe that Vera, FM intern & Shamil's lead kommando, received serious input & clearance re a carefully tuned perception.
AHAHAHAH that is why Marat was so excited about Vera at their last meeting.
Poor Vera she has lost all her clothes for money!!!!!
May be the next time she will play a tennis match totally nude.

To the Kremlin Cup finalist 2008, the first number of the current crop drawing Vera Zvonareva this competition will be the main rehearsal before the two biggest tournaments in individual and team standings - the final WTA Championships in Istanbul, and the Fed Cup final Russia - Czech Republic. On the eve of the start of fifth charge racket of the world gave thorough interview "Chempionat.com." - Faith, you have been very busy, long day workout, then another, and the evening. Is it too fast-paced take? - Still After Beijing I had a few days off, then only that the bed cover - so it is now an opportunity to come to court, to be trained. Half of training, when there is a break between tournaments - this is normal. This is not something new - we are all accustomed to it, so do not worry. And closer to the tournament is already possible to reduce the burden will be on one workout, the more will the qualification opportunities to practice on Centre Court will not be - only in the early morning or late at night. So now take this opportunity to complete, is nailed to the courts, to coat. - Central and the first courts to exercise open only on Thursday, and before that you were engaged in the practice court. The big difference between them? - Of course, different feelings. Here, all the same and a lot of space and light - all very different.Even the sound of the ball the other. In the hall the other senses. Of course, the coverage is worse. But the difference is felt due to the fact that it put on a different basis - I do not know where the board or something else. And, of course, the atmosphere of the huge hall is quite different. For her to get used to. At the first court has its own, the central - their own. Need to see everything, everything to adjust. I think I need to get used to more precisely to the central court, still has a good chance that I'll be playing there, so I will try to spend more time on training as a "center." - During your workout, the first court in the stands was bolboev instruction. Do you have any memories of your childhood in this connection there? - (Smiling) Yes. Many times I have been a, shall we say, ball-girl at the Kremlin Cup. Of course, such an instruction was hard. But honestly, the people who carried out instructions have not changed for over 15 years. The same person that I know many, many years.I remember that when I was a little girl sitting on the podium and she also took place this instruction. And it was interesting enough to watch it all on the other side. I am now on the court, and young girls, the boys were waiting when I finish training to get himself on the court practice. - There's quite versed in detail all sorts of unusual situations. In your career bolboya also seems to have been unusual cases. - Honestly, probably had a bunch of all sorts of adventures, so to speak. For example, the case, which I always tell when I had to collect ice Yevgeny Kafelnikov from somewhere. Larisa Savchenko then asked for a napkin. It is now all be put to the courts and before are brought towels, napkins, bananas - in short, everything you might need tennis player. The list is long. And then it was nothing. And I was told not to rough cloth and mild. Where to look for, where to run - it was not clear. I asked in every restaurant, found, and then I was not allowed back on the court. Saying who you are, that you come from? (Laughs.) In general, there were many such cases. They are probably all now no longer remember. However, I think that every year the experience grows, you can expect more and more different situations. So now all I heard was quite tough, correct, discipline (smiles) . - After a week you'll be the fifth time to play the championship final WTA. What is special about these competitions? How are they different from regular? - Yes, time flies fast. On the one hand, the feeling that recently began to play constantly on the final tournament, on the other hand, as you say, this is the fifth year. This is a rather big number, not everyone can get their careers five times in the final championship. This is a special tournament. There's every game on the line, permanently, from the first round, we have to play with a man of eight strongest. Each contestant is dangerous on its own. In addition, there is the atmosphere a little bit different - very calm and quiet. Even in the players lounge are empty, because each player has his schedule, and we see each other there is practically no - everyone comes to the game, the gym and then goes to the courts. Be part of the final tournament - the special feeling, because you get into the atmosphere increased attention from all sides. Therefore, in this tournament you always want something special to do. - News about what you are guaranteed a ticket to Istanbul for the final championship WTA, caught up with you in Moscow. How did you adopted and what are your expectations for this tournament before? - It was nice that I finally got to eight. I know that is close enough to it, but confidence was not there. And when you find yourself in advance, it is already time to tune in, that there are flying. Becomes a little calmer. But I'm in this situation is not the first time, for me it is not something new. Simply, no matter what, I understand that now, this upcoming week - home and need to adjust to the coming matches, not to run ahead. When running away ahead, hard to keep concentrating on this particular day, and then there is a hard to get the result that you want. We are now trying to adjust so that the best way to prepare for this tournament, at the same time knowing that next week I also have tournaments that do not go through with loads. Correctly calculate them. That is now - the Kremlin Cup, and then everything else. - And yet not flashed you have in mind the idea of withdrawing from the Kremlin Cup, when you know exactly what is go to Istanbul? - you know, it was very much factors why I chose this tournament. When the application was, I felt good, was in good physical condition. Yes, of course, there are always some moments, worried about a mini-injury. But overall it was good. Secondly, last year I missed a tournament, and I love to play with their audiences, with their stands, when you come to support. Still, not so often it happens. The third factor that we have here are going to play Fed Cup final in Istanbul after, so I feel the atmosphere, to come to court, all understand that the best way to prepare for the match against cheshek. The fourth factor - as I stated, then, of course, did not know I'll get to Istanbul or not. So this tournament is always needed. Of course, I understand that, perhaps, the Kremlin Cup - not the most important event for the whole year. Already the ending of the season, and also do not want to get the extra trauma, do not want too tired to Istanbul. Nevertheless, it is these moments that, if they come, then have them we will fight as they become available. Now, suppose something makes no sense. I set up to fight and want to please their fans, their audience. I try to train to come in optimal shape. I feel good, everything is fine. And there have a look. - You've had a few days of rest before preparing the Kremlin Cup. Whether managed to do something useful, and how were the christening of your nephew? - (Laughs) I guess, just one thing that I managed to make useful, it is to baptize his nephew. Everything went very well, I liked it (smiles) . The first such a crucial role in me falling out. I have long doubted, but glad I managed. - Many people can not understand how you combine such seemingly incompatible features: on the one hand such a kind and sympathetic woman, doing charity work, but on the other - were photographed recently in a rather candid photoshoot ... - I think that we, in Russia, some exaggerated response from this photo shoot, such as responding to it is not clear. In fact, this is a very prestigious sports magazine (Sports Illustrated. - Ed.***) , which annually conducts a photo shoot, invite famous athletes from around the world. The purpose of the magazine, perhaps, to show the beauty of athletic body. There really are athletes and athletes, because we train a lot. And at the same time in this photo shoot is no explicit pictures is not there anything that will never show.
*** Incorrect. The editor confuses the ESPN Magazine "Body Issue" shoot with the Sports Illustrated "Swimsuit Edition". The main thing here - athletic figure athlete. Each athlete is unique in its own way, each sport has its own specifics, and very interesting to watch. All of these shots - it's a special art. In fact, it is very prestigious. Serena Williams - the only tennis player more than me, who took part in this photo shoot. She was on the cover of a couple of years ago. Of course, when this offer came to me, I was not sure, but I was interested in this whole process, approach, how it happens. Yes, maybe I have somewhere a simple shot, but many athletes in some unrealistic positions, which are seen every tiny muscle. I think it's quite a creative process, and it was interesting to see how the photographers are suitable for him. - Place Are you under contract and a copy of all, you may have someone they have promised to donate? -(Laughs) Honestly, while I this in detail I do not know. I only know that there is a magazine to be released calendar. Need to contact my agent, to clarify. - By the way, on a calendar just for your sport, the main one. Great response changes in the schedule of tournaments, the season you have fallen, and Stacey Allaster suggests, for example, women play 5 sets matches at the "Grand Slam". How do you react to this? - Oh, I do not know. Constantly go some innovations, some rearrangement, to be honest, I do not have time to watch. Of course, we always try to participate, as something to express their opinions. I have repeatedly asked about the five-set matches, but I honestly did not hear what was said and as Stacey. Still, it's quite hard. Maybe somewhere in the final play of the five sets - yes, it is possible. But to do full five-set tournaments - it's just unreal. Calendar loaded and so, almost all the matches are played in three sets. And if we of the five, it will be very difficult. Men after five-set matches are not all the time - only on "Grand Slam" and in the Davis Cup. And all the while playing marathon games - it's just unreal. Neither men nor women. I think this idea will be hard to implement. But still play, let's finals tournament "Grand Slam" physically we are ready. Physically, we can do it, but keep in mind that now often semifinal play, say, on Saturday, and the finale - on Sunday. But if you want to spend five-set match, it will immediately be taken into account in a calendar day and make a break.As it does in men. Play two days in a row - it's too hard. We are already very many weeks in a year when we have to play. And so we have a lot of injuries.

UCL Enterprise Annual Review 2012/2013
Whether it's our working with corporations and assisting student entrepreneurs or spinning out research, I hope that you enjoy reading about all our enterprise activities from across UCL in this review.
Stephen Caddick, Vice-Provost (Enterprise)
Download the Enterprise Annual Review 2012/2013
Enterprise Secondment Awards
Enterprise Secondment Awards support UCL staff wishing to promote their engagement in knowledge transfer, through secondments with companies, social enterprises, charities and other non-academic organisations.
Projects will be prioritised based on their identifiable impact or the building of longer-term research partnerships.. Impacts will be monitored through identifiable and measurable outcomes e.g. new jobs, public engagement, scientific dissemination and follow-on activity e.g. business startups and/or new collaborations with clear potential for IP development and/or development of longer- term research partnerships. The prospective benefits to project stakeholders (e.g. secondee, UCL, external partner) will all be considered.
Proposal Criteria
- Projects should have a clear knowledge transfer focus.
- Project partners must have a UK-based research presence.
- Secondments should have underpinning research in the EPSRC remit.
- Projects should demonstrate measurable impact to all partners, and should attract either direct or in kind contributions from the external partner.
- Projects should be no more than £50K for 1-6 months' work.
- Secondments to other HEIs or other educational establishments are not eligible.
- Applicants should seek approval and support from their Head of Department before they apply.
Allowable Costs
A pFACT costing will be generated and submitted for departmental review, but RFU approval is not required. Only direct costs are funded: this includes salary,NI and pension costs, reasonable travel and subsistence, appropriate consumables. The secondments will be supported for all career stages from doctoral students to academic staff, the latter integrating with UCL's existing sabbatical scheme.
Proposal Format
Applicants should complete the Enterprise Secondments application form and email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Award Conditions
The PI and Secondee must agree to this commitment and take part in the monitoring processes. PI and Secondee must also engage with UCLB and the research contracts office to ensure UCL's IP is protected and its value maximised.where appropriate.

Two guys in a local diner were having a debate. One thought that their waiter was a high school drop out, and had never seen anything as advanced as calculus. The other thought that she did.

lol. Good one. Yeah only a mathematician would understand. The absence of + C is probably the most common mistake made in calculus.

You referred to the waiter as female. Waiter is the male variation of the word.

Grill up a pile of tomatillos for this smokey, tangy salsa. Great on carnitas!
This was like pulling teeth to get an authentic Salsa Verde Recipe from the local's but worth the time and effort...and laughs
There was a time when I thought salsa verde was made from green tomatoes. That time was about a week and a half ago. Now I am a tomatillo convert. This sassy salsa is so easy to make, it will convert you into a fierce food canner! Welcome.
An original (but simple) Tomatillo Salsa recipe with jalpeno and cilantro. Great fresh and easy to put up for the darker days of winter when you want a taste of Mexican sunshine

SPARKS — A business that isn't online and does better during a recession — is such a thing possible?
It is, according to Ed Ross, manager of the JC's 5 Star outlet store in Sparks.
A native of Wisconsin, Ross recently marked 40 years with the company that formerly was the liquidation arm of JCPenney and still serves that function with the national retailer — although it split with the retailer last year.
Ross started his career at a JCPenney service desk in Chicago, after earning a business management degree from the University of Wisconsin, and never left.
"That was my first job and it still is my job," Ross said.
He has worked in sales from the desk, through the catalog and on the floor — working his way up to manager. Along the way, he has witnessed many trends and changes. Ross has ordered merchandise on paper, with punch machines, on computers with DOS and now with sophisticated software and the Internet. He also has seen the act of shopping become more technologically savvy.
"(Customers will) take a picture of something with their telephone when they come in and punch in the numbers and see what it is selling for in other places," Ross said. "And that helps us."
The economic doldrums of the past three years have actually benefitted JC's 5 Star store at the corner of McCarran Boulevard and Glendale Avenue, Ross said. Consumers' need to find a lower price on clothes and household items has grown, adding to the store's already loyal following of bargain hunters, Ross said.
The store also has seen competition creep closer in recent years with the opening of a new Walmart store just a few miles to the west on Second Street and the relocation of the Target store in Sparks from Prater Way to Outlets at Legends.
"Our customer base expands a bit when competition comes in," Ross said.
Ross said the outlet store customer base is a bit different than that of a regular retail store. People who shop outlet stores are truly looking for a bargain from the outset, he said, and will drive a far distance to get it. While the outlet store's selection is much more limited, Ross said, a true outlet will mark down merchandise 30 to 50 percent. All the colors and sizes won't be on the shelves, he added, but it will be a good bargain if it fits.
Also, he continued, since JC's 5 Star's break-up with JCPenney, the liquidation store's inventory has become more seasonal, not relying on the returned and overstock merchandise to fill its floor. And while weekly ads highlight the current available stock, regular customers make the journey to get a first-hand look at what is different at the store.
"People really do look for us regardless of what we're advertising," Ross said. "We get people from Grass Valley, (Calif.) over the hill all the time, Oregon because they know we're down here and we're a legitimate outlet store."
Glen Gammons, CEO of JC's 5 Star, also said one of the biggest differences between an outlet consumer and a regular retail consumer is how far they will travel to shop.
"Most retailers pull customers from a 5- to 10-mile radius of their store," Gammons said in an email. "Our business pulls from up to a 50- to 100-mile circle. Many of our customers come in on a weekly basis, but others only make the trip a few times a year when they pass through town, visit family or on some other special occasion. These 'tourist' customers are not the norm in retail."
Out-of-towners aren't the only ones who frequent Ross' store.
"A lot of people from industrial businesses come on their lunch hour to see what changed from the day before," Ross said.
Something that hasn't changed for a long time at the Sparks location is Ross, and much of his management team. In addition to being with the company for 40 years — which is 80 percent of the JCPenney outlet's existence — Ross said many of his department heads and supervisors have worked with him for 15 to 25 years.
When the outlet stores closure announcement was made early in 2011, a deal was being worked out with SBCapital Group in Ohio to buy all 15 JCPenney Outlet Stores. This deal allowed all 15 stores to stay in business, while most of the management group migrated from the JCPenney Outlet to JC's 5 Star Outlet, as well as offering the vast majority of the Outlet's 1,600 store associates an opportunity to keep their jobs.
"They've always been really good to me," Ross said of the company. "I've had offers; from time to time you get headhunters from Mervyn's or Target or places like that call but, you know, the people I've worked with and the way I've been treated I've never really looked beyond my own front door."
Another long-term employee agreed.
"In retail in general, Ed Ross's longevity is not the norm, but it is more likely than you might expect in our chain," Gammons said. "I have been with JCPenney Outlet and now JC's 5 Star for 40 years, and we have many associates in both management and hourly positions with decades of service. With that sort of longevity a store becomes like a family."

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
For young fans, Selena Gomez concert a dream come true
Under a wash of lights made to leer like tiger stripes, Selena Gomez wiggled hips swaddled in shiny white, and spat out a rap in a squeaky monotone.
It was nothing weighty, just one cotton-candy moment among many in the early minutes of the former Disney ingenue's Stars Dance tour, this one during the breakdown of the song B.E.A.T. But the crowd cheered. Their young voices pierced the MTS Centre, and their waving hands rippled across the floor, and that indiscrimnately adoring response highlighted just who that moment belonged to, and who it was really for.
Selena Gomez
August 19, 2013
MTS Centre
Attendance: 8,000
3.5 stars out of 5
Oh, it was not for music journalists, no, or even really for the parents that gamely bopped along in every other seat, but for the wider sets of eyes those parents were sandwiched between. Because Gomez's celebrity is created by and for the young, and the Stars Dance concert played out the way the young imagine theirs would too, when they sing into brushes under the lights of the bathroom mirror.
Look, in an era of packaged pop stars, Gomez is more prepared even than most. Her first solo-branded album, the brand-new Stars Dance, is billed as more "personal" than her first, which she has said means she called its songwriters and told them about how she was feeling and what kind of songs she wanted to sing. She is 21 now, and so the lyrics are a little sharper, a little more racy than when she was just a teen.
But only a little. Just enough to electrify hearts for whom love is still new — just not enough to horrify their parents too.
That's basically how the Stars Dance concert played out, for that matter. It was just the fifth date on the tour, which started last week in Vancouver and will run almost until December. So on Monday night at MTS Centre the set-up was still fresh, as it sped along breathlessly from one bouncy beat to the next, pausing for a few ballads — which she sang solo, poised and elegant in a black gown — before building back up to the peppy dance beats.
It kicked off just after 8:30, as she bounced onstage clad in a shiny white bustier and white pants, the first outfit of many. She shimmied through Bang Bang Bang and Round and Round, both tunes from her younger days, as her back-up dancers whirled behind. The lights cycled between pink and purple and blue and white, as her outfits cycled through sparkly black and finally landing on a dazzling gold leotard fit for a star.
Gomez is a star, of course, though a curious one. As an actor, the screen loves her; as a singer, she seems less at home. She has a pretty voice, but not a distinctive one. She is a decent dancer but not a remarkable one, she hits her steps but is not transformed by the moves and the grooves and the beat. She is bubbly and bright, but doesn't have the presence to fill a stage — at least not yet, anyway. She is still very young.
What she has, though, is a natural and effortless ability to relate, to be up on stage and yet, somehow, not above. Gomez was bullied badly as a child, and before crooning the pretty Who Says her face wore her worry for kids who face the same. "Every single one of you are beautiful the way you are," she said. "Every message I get from you (about bullying), it hurts me. You guys are so beautiful. Please don't listen to that, ever, ever, ever."
So that was how the concert was lifted above its cautiously choreographed restrictions, above its packaged vocals and largely unimaginative visual production (dancers tangled up in hanging ropes on Whiplash was a rare exception to that): it did so on the strength of one likable young woman, on the simple uplifting messages in her hooky tunes, and on the sweetness of a girl next door decked in glittery gold, strutting down the S-shaped stage that jutted onto the floor, and wiggling her hips through the pumped-up encore: "When you're ready," she sang, all flirty and fun, "come and get it."

Summary of New Rules for the New Economy Summary of New Rules for the New Economy Reviews for New Rules for the New Economy An Excerpt from New Rules for the New Economy
Forget supply and demand. Forget computers. The old rules are broken. Today, communication, not computation, drives change. We are rushing into a world where connectivity is everything, and where old business know-how means nothing. In this new economic order, success flows primarily from understanding networks, and networks have their own rules. In New Rules for the New Economy, Kevin Kelly presents ten fundamental principles of the connected economy that invert the traditional wisdom of the industrial world. Succinct and memorable, New Rules explains why these powerful laws are already hardwired into the new economy, and how they play out in all kinds of business--both low and high tech--all over the world. More than an overview of new economic principles, it prescribes clear and specific strategies for success in the network economy. For any worker, CEO, or middle manager, New Rules is the survival kit for the new economy.

African drought is inevitable, hunger and starvation is not
Imagine if 18 million Australians were at risk of severe hunger. Right now, this is the reality for the men, women and children of West and Central Africa.
In the Sahel land belt that stretches from Senegal and Mauritania on Africa's west coast, to Niger and Chad near the continent's centre, more than 18 million people—equivalent to more than the entire population of Australia's eastern states—are at risk of going hungry.
The worst of this food crisis is set to continue over the coming weeks. It's now the hunger season in the region, that time before a new harvest when people's food stocks become dangerously low.
But this year, the combination of poor rains and skyrocketing food prices means the lean season will be even tougher than usual. As the rainy season takes hold, and people's dwindling food supplies are further depleted, cases of malnutrition and malaria look set to rise.
Farmers should now be planting their crops, but a lack of seeds and tools—and also disruption due to conflict—means many are simply unable to do so. This is a worrying sign which could mean the next harvest won't produce enough crops to get people out of the current food crisis and on the road to recovery.
Areas of Mauritania, Chad and Mali have been classified as in extreme food security—one level below famine. Huge swathes of the Sahel remain in a critical condition.
Sadly, it's an all too familiar story. Just two years ago, the Sahel region was hit by a similar food crisis affecting 10 million people. And this time last year, we were talking about the food crisis in East Africa, and just days away from the declaration of famine in Somalia.
The West Africa food crisis reinforces many of the lessons we have already learnt from past emergencies: things like the the importance of responding to early warnings of a looming crisis, ramping up the response when there are growing humanitarian needs, and acting to prevent a repeat of this hunger pattern in the future.
We know from experience that the earlier we act, the more lives can be saved. Effective early warning systems means the world had plenty of notice of what was to come.
Agencies like Oxfam were warning as far back as last December of a looming food crisis in the Sahel, and we have been working in the region for months providing urgently needed relief including food, water and cash support.
The international community and UN agencies responded early to the warnings, mobilising funds to try to prevent the worst of the crisis. This was positive.
But sadly, it hasn't been enough to meet the increasing humanitarian needs. There still remains a significant funding gap, with the UN now estimating it needs $1.6 billion for the humanitarian response—up from around $700 million back in January.
The Australian Government has already provided $30 million to the Sahel food crisis, which is to be commended. Oxfam urges Australia—and Australians—to continue its support of people in need in West Africa.
Funding is needed so we can respond to people's immediate and urgent needs, help them to prepare for the next harvest, and to ensure a speedy and effective recovery. It's not too late to respond, but we must act quickly.
Ongoing conflict, particularly in the north of Mali, threatens to further escalate the crisis, and there are fears locust swarms could devastate crops in some areas. The onset of the rainy season will also make it harder to get help to people who need it.
At the same time, we must work to make sure future crises can be prevented, and invest in small-holder farmers to boost local food production. Things like new irrigation systems, crops that can survive in low rain conditions, and better roads and transport links, are just some ways that can help.
We also need bigger and better food reserves to ensure there is more supply in times of need, and to help keep prices more stable. And we need stronger social welfare safety nets to help vulnerable people cope, especially in the hard times.
The return on these kind of long-term investments is that we can avoid the worst aspects of these cyclical hunger crises and secure a future where everyone in West Africa has enough to eat. Drought is inevitable in the Sahel, but hunger is not.

My view is that the key word in all of this is CONFLICT. If the warlords or rebels and governments were to stop the waste of both stop spending huge ammounts of money on weapons then maybe the countries could be sustainable. I donate and have sympathy for the people, usually women and childen who end up suffering, but there needs to be an attempt to fix the conflict. What would be the case if these countries were oil rich?

P. Walker says:
I'm sorry Andrew, but if only the Africans woke up one day and realised that their country cannot support such vast populations they might think about family planning. I couldn't support a family of more than 2 kids, that's why I'm snipped. Pretty simple logic! Whoops, you now know I'm not Catholic.
...and taking their huge families to host countries will acerbate that countries problems too.
james smith says:
I believe the African problem is an effect of overpopulation. Their country can't support its own people and yet it's commonplace to have eight children, of which they too can't support. All this is fed by a dependence on foreign aide.
The Realist says:
James Smith is right. The overpopulation of an country leads to deep problems. I'll donate to the starving people of Africa as long as they have a birth control plan which could at least minimalise starvation.
I feel the same about any group or cultlure - black or white.
terrarious says:
While West Africa is facing a devastating drought that will cause unnecessary pain, death and suffering for its 18,000,000 inhabitants, Australia contributes a measley $30 million in aid, while contributing $300 million to help EDUCATE Indonesia's Islamic students. Ehhhhhh?
But as Australia is really worried about global warming, that hasn't happened for the last 15 years, Gillard plans to raise $10,000,000,000 initially, via the carbon tax, to stop the warming, which it won't.
That's the problem with this global warming nonsense, billions are wasted based on failed computer models, by IPCC, big governments big banksters and rent seeking academics on imaginary crises, wasting money that could be used to solve real problems like feeding 18 million starving people.
What is really going on here?????
The Old Man says:
Dear Mr Hewett
A few points which, in my humble way, I think may go some way towards helping things in these situations
1. Outlaw Oxfam
2 Outlaw the UN
3 Stop all aid to countries where it is just stolen by third world despots and warlords!
Why should we support Oxfam when they are responsible for killing millions of people in these situations by support the UN IPCC and their theft by Carbon Tax? How much more money could have been available for food research instead of being wasted to stop the sky falling in?
There is an old saying, 'Give a man a fish and you feed him for a week, teach a man to fish and you feed him for life'
How many dams has the UN helped to fund in these areas to lessen the impact of these sorts of disasters?
Robinoz says:
My grandmother told my mother when the latter was 10 or so that "we have been sending money to Africa for decades and nothing has improved". Now, almost 100 years later, the situation is still the same. Maybe it's simply Allah's will.
fml says:
It is not an issue of overpopulation, its an issue of poor agricultural practices. Once the countries become industrialised you will find the birth rate will decrease.
Graham S says:
Here we go again. As African states refuse to take action to restore something resembling civilisation in West Africa & other corrupt, bankrupt rat-holes, the begging bowl is being passed around to us, yet again. It is nearly 25 years since Bob Geldof's Feed The World campaign & others since and in that time the African population has doubled so why on earth should we do anything to encourage further catastrophy on that continent? Where is the logic? There is none. Yet again, another wide-eyed child gazing, yet again, at the camera and that wide-eyed boy-child we saved, 20 years or so ago, is now a Kalashnikov-bearing, Islamist killer, siring children whenever the whim takes him. Somewhere, over the rainbow, lies Somalia, another fine land of violent, Kalashnikov-toting, khat-chewing, girl-circumcising, permanently tumescent layabouts. An almost entire continent of sexually hyperactive, illiterate indigents, with tens of millions of people who only survive because of help from the outside world. Asian countries have suffered horrendous catastrophes, wars & disasters as has Europe, all in the past 50 years and pushed on. Africa has gone completely backwards. Let them help themselves for a change
Tim the Toolman says:
"The return on these kind of long-term investments is that we can avoid the worst aspects of these cyclical hunger crises"
Until the next warlord smashes his way through everything that has been achieved and plunges poverty-stricken African country X into the depths of human misery again.
I'm going to get a coffee…more cynical than usual for this time of the morning.
Dave Charlesworth says:
I think the gist of this type of story has well and truly worn off, only the hemp smoking extremists and the Feel Good crowd are listening these days. And lets be honest they make up only 11% of the population.
Zaf says:
What those countries need is some sort of stable, representative Govt - whose priorities would be winning the next election, and therefore taking care of their people.
The Indian subcontinent suffered a series of famines while it was a British colony, the most recent being the Great Bengal Famine during WWII - caused by the Raj requisitioning rice in Bengal for the Army in Burma.
While droughts and floods continued after Independence, the elected Govt of India made sure that the country didn't descend into famine - there has not been one widespread famine in India since Independence. And the Govt was motivated enough by public interest that it invested in the Green Revolution, and now India is more or less self sufficient in food.
That's what Africa needs. Not just endless, limited band-aid charity.
So ask: who is propping up these unelected warlords and why? Who sells them arms? Where do they get money to buy arms?
The situaiton in Mali may be a on-off side-effect of the fall of Gaddafy in Libya, but the situation in the Horn of Africa has been the same for decades. Who benefits from that?
Caedrel says:
The responses so far are pretty much the ones I expected for an article such as this. Aid has two branches: disaster relief and community development. Learn about the detail of the work being carried on in the latter area, working with the locals. It's often not handouts, but things like micro finance, helping them learn a trade and form community groups, teaching them about sanitation and hygiene but in the local context. I can't help but feel that people's so-called cynicism about Africa is more of a front for their selifhness, laziness, and racism: a lie they tell even to themselves.
the cynic says:
The problem is not of our making. When the map of Africa in my school atlas was all coloured in the colours of the colonial powers things were running nicely 3 meals a day and violence amongst ethnic lines was kept in check. Look at it now that the inmates have taken over the assylum! A complete basket case that we are supposed to wring our hands and gnash our teeth over in self loathing while making payment for their survival.
Swamp Thing says:
@the Cynic: Spot on without 'western' or (lets tell it like it is) 'white' administration these places fall into incredible misery & cruelty: infinitely in excess of anything inflicted by the worst of colonial rulers. Tons of evidence for those with the eyes to see it. White guilt merchants, do gooders and similar types have a close squizz at zim or south africa - at all aspects of life there, to view this decline in action. Realistic solution? Damn if i know.
Brad says:
I'm impressed that Melinda Gates is challenging the Vatican on contraception. Their influence on low socio-economic communities through their missionary work and further through their influence of the delivery of foreign government aid missions has turned the poor and needy away from contraception over several generations.
Melinda (and thousands of others) have a huge task to turn around this message and encourage a new generation of underprivileged to value and invest in contraception methods. When you have a spare dollar, do you spend it on food, alcohol, smoking, education, clothing, shelter, contraception? Tough choice.
Kathleen says:
The arid and semi-arid lands of Africa (ASAL's) cover 43% of Africa's habitable surface. They also share a number of things in common: extreme drought conditions that are contributing to a steep decline in living standards; increasing reliance on food aid and human migration from rural to urban areas. ASAL's are typically long-neglected, suffering from a lack of infrastructure investment and are characterized by extreme ethnic tensions as people compete over limited natural resources.
I am the founder of The BOMA Project and we work in four districts in northern Kenya, one of the areas hard-hit by last year's Horn of Africa drought. What we are seeing is larger and larger infusions of food aid and a focus on building climate change adaptation strategies around the men and the livestock industry. While these efforts are noteworthy, they ignore the fact that it is the women and children who are now left behind in the villages, sometimes for as long as six months, as men travel farther and longer in search of grazing terrain and water for their livestock. With little hope of employment beyond menial labor, like hauling water or gathering firewood, women are forced to beg for credit and rely on humanitarian food aid to survive. In order to build long-term resilience in these communities, long-term strategies must go beyond a focus on men and the vulnerable livestock industry.
BOMA's focus is on an economic empowerment program for women living in rural drylands. We not only help build sustainable income levels for women so that they can survive drought, feed their families and pay for school fees and medical care, we also focus on the problems of inconsistent cash flow and inadequate financial services so that women can accumulate savings for long-term stability. To date we have launched 925 businesses of 3300 adults who support over 17,000 children in Samburu, Laisamis, Loiyanglani and Marsabit Districts of northern Kenya. Our recent Impact Assessment underscores the success of an economic empowerment program that focuses on women: 63% decrease in the number of children going to bed hungry at least once a month; 89% increase in the number of participants eating two meals a day; 67% increase in the number of children attending school and a 41% increase in the number of women attending adult literacy programs. 82% of all participants are actively saving and lending money through their business or BOMA saving groups.
Women play a key role in supporting their households and communities in achieving food and nutrition security, generating income, and improving rural livelihoods. In order to break the cycle of poverty, climate change adaptation strategies for northern Kenya, and for all the rural drylands of Africa, must include a focus on women.

Photos: Art can raise money (or get smashed in a guillotine)
At an art fundraiser in Grapevine Saturday night, the name of the game was impatience: If a piece of art wasn't claimed for a high enough price in 30 seconds of bidding, it was destroyed. Violently. The event at Vetro Glassblowing Studio in Grapevine was a dramatic combination of fire, yelling, and flying glass, all to support the Emergency Artist Support League, a 20-year-old charity that helps visual artists with financial constraints.
